This dystopian book is a huge favorite at my school this year. It's the story of a multinational group of kids who are going to a distant planet to mine a valuable substance called Nyxia. The teenagers have been promised a huge amount of money in exchange for three years of their lives, but it's not until they are on the spaceship that they find out that only some of them will actually get to mine for Nyxia and get the huge financial payout they were promised. Emmett's mother is ill and he desperately needs the money for her to get treatment. He joins into the sometimes violent competition, but begins to question how far he can go to win at the expense of the other competitors. The book is action-packed and full of twists and turns. The worst thing about this book is that we have to wait a whole year to find out what happens next. Highly recommended for fans of dystopian fiction.
